Wasp Nest Removal
Single visit treatment with professional-grade insecticide. Often treatable the same or next day in season (April-October). Wasps die back; the nest is treated, not just sprayed.
From £80Mice in the walls? Behind the oven? In the loft? You can hear them at night and you're finding droppings in the kitchen drawer? Mice are persistent and DIY traps rarely solve it. We match you with a Cornwall pest controller for proper treatment and the proofing work that actually keeps them out.
Mice are the most common UK pest after wasps in summer — they breed continuously through the year given indoor warmth, they need only a 5mm gap to enter a property, and they leave behind significant contamination, gnawed wiring and chewed insulation wherever they live. Cornwall's rural cottages, Victorian terraces, holiday lets and HMO conversions are all classic mouse habitat.

Everything you need to know about mice control in Cornwall.
From £150 for a standard 2-3 visit programme (treatment, follow-up, proofing advice). HMO or multi-room properties £200-£350. Rural cottages with multiple ingress points £250-£400. Landlord contract cover (quarterly inspection per property) typically £30-£60 per month.
Because you haven't blocked the entry points. Mice need only a 5mm gap to enter — pipework holes, air brick gaps, soffit voids, kitchen kickboard cavities. Traps catch individuals but the next mouse just walks in. Effective long-term control is 80% proofing, 20% killing. A professional programme always includes proofing as part of the package.
Both. Mice contaminate food and surfaces with urine, droppings and saliva. They can carry Salmonella, Hantavirus, Leptospira (less commonly than rats but still present) and other pathogens. They also gnaw electrical wiring — a known cause of house fires. And they breed: a single pregnant female can produce 5-10 litters per year, each of 5-12 pups. Untreated infestations grow fast.
No. Mice treatments use sealed bait stations and snap traps placed in voids, lofts, under units and along walls. Pets can usually remain — locked stations are tamper-resistant — but discuss any concerns at the survey visit. Children should not handle stations directly. Holiday lets can usually carry on operating during a treatment programme.
Yes — under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, landlords have a duty to deal with pest infestations that make a property unfit. Routine pest control is the standard expectation for HMOs and food-serving lets. BPCA Servicing Members provide written reports you can share with tenants and use as evidence for EHO inspections.
Yes — autumn through to early spring is peak indoor activity. Outdoor populations move indoors as temperatures drop and food becomes scarce. The classic 'November-January spike' is when most Cornwall pest controllers see the most domestic mice callouts. Proof your property in late summer to head it off.
